Gratitude. A word we have talked about as we wrote in our Gratitude journals this week. We focused on how we can count our blessings from God and tell about them. But there is also a why behind some of the things that are important to us and we thought about not only the it, but also the why. So as we wrote in our Gratitude Journals we also reflected on why we are grateful for the people and things God has blesses us with each day.

Leadership. Our 2nd graders went to Maranatha church on Tuesday and we talked about how to be good leaders. We talked about how we can be leaders who act like Jesus and be an example for others.
